  Till now, i never seen any proves shows that eyelash extension is bad or damages your eyes. But you must be care and do not rub your eyes, or it may cause eye infections. In fact, everyone has naturally long eyelashes, we'd better not try to add them burden if you want to a healthy life. Eyelash extensions is really suck!

  yes, it could damage your eyes. Unlike false eyelashes, where synthetic lashes are applied to the eyelid, and remove after usage. Eyelash extensions are applied directly to the natural eyelash with a bonding agent and could last up to six weeks. These bonding agents and glues are irritants and could cause discomfort, potential eye damge in severe cases as well. Repeat use of eyelash extensions can cause Traction Alopecia, which is a condition where the hair falls out due to excessive tension placed on the hair shaft. As a result, this can damage the hair follicle which can slow down and even cease production of hair.

  If you do the eyelash extensions, it is a bad idea. As we know, the man made eyelash will be used to elongate the original length. However, the fixture we use to connect the eyelash. The original eyelash will be hindered to develop because of the length oppression. And too long eyelash may come into our eyes which may make the eyes feel hurt.

  Well, yes, they can damage your eyes. So you should be careful about using them. First you should know that they are unlike false eyelashes. As we know that for false eyelashes, lashes are applied to the eyelid. So they can be removed after usage. While eyelash extensions are applied directly to the natural eyelash with a bonding agent, in this way, of course they can last up to six weeks. But on the other hand, it can be very dangerous, because these bonding agents and glues are irritants. Definitely, it can make your eyes feel discomfort. And in some serious situation, it can lead to eye infection and do some damage to your eyes. so you should pay more attention to the danger of them.

  Yes, eyelash extension is bad for dry eyes. Because there are amount of chemical constituent in eyelash extension which will directly hurt our real eyelashes. Eyelash extension is made of animal hair especially pig hair and this kind of material will easily make our eyes infected. What is more, if you wear eyelash extension with dirty hands and rub your eyes by accident, eye extension will cut your cornea. If you don't take care of this problem, your eyes will get infected and you will be blind as well.
